Patent CA-2597572-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARK YOUNG K
IPC: F25B41/04
Filed: 2006-02-14
Abstract: The high side pressure of a vapor compression system is selected to optimize the coefficient of performance by measuring the gas cooler exit temperature with a temperature sensor. For any gas cooler exit temperature, a single optimal high side pressure optimizes the coefficient of performance. The optimal high side pressure for each gas cooler exit temperature is preset into a control and is based on data obtained by previous testing. A temperature sensor measures the gas cooler exit temperature. The control determines the optimal high side pressure based solely on the gas cooler exit temperature and the data preset into the control.

Patent CA-2597746-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FALLER CHRISTOF
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: The following coding scenario is addressed: A number of audio source signals need to be transmitted or stored for the purpose of mixing wave field synthesis, multi channel surround, or stereo signals after decoding the source signals. The proposed technique offers significant coding gain when jointly coding the source signals, compared to separately coding them, even when no redundancy is present between the source signals. This is possible by considering statistical properties of the source signals, the properties of mixing techniques, and spatial hearing. The sum of the source signals is transmitted plus the statistical properties of the source signals which mostly determine the perceptually important spatial cues of the final mixed audio channels. Source signals are recovered at the receiver such that their statistical properties approximate the corresponding properties of the original source signals. Subjective evaluations indicate that high audio quality is achieved by the proposed scheme.

Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation device wherein navigation instruction are adapted to the driver preferences. The driving behaviour of the driver is recorded (like speed, time to prepare for an exit etc.), and the way he responds to navigation instructions (promptly, or always too late for example). Traffic, weather and time information may be combined with information on the driving behaviour of the driver. This information is examined and used to build up a driver profile. This driver profile is used to adapt future navigation instructions. Alternatively, traffic and weather informat ion may be used to build up route and/or environmental profiles. These profiles can also be used separate form the driver profile to adjust the navigation instruction. The combination of these two techniques, building up a profile (or adapt a pre-defined profile) and adapt the navigation instructions, makes the navigation device a more personal-fit navigation aid. Also, giving the right instructions to a specific driver may contribute to a safer behaviour.
